discourse markers.

Посадите детей в круг и дайте каждому, чистый лист и ручку. Расскажите,

что сегодня они будут вместе писать истории.

If you have 8 students, at the end of the class they will have written 8 stories.

Напишите на доске:

Once, there was a man/woman called ……. who….

Предложение ученики переписывают себе в листочки, и решают, кто будет

главным героем мужчина/женщина, и дают ему имя.

Tell students to copy the sentence onto their piece of paper, decide if the character

is a man or a woman and give them a name.

Затем ученики передают свой лист ученику слева, и он должен закончить

первое предложение.

Students then pass the piece of paper to the left; they must then complete the first

sentence, for example:

Once, there was a man called Jimmy who lived under a bridge.

Students then pass the paper again, and copy down and complete the following:

One day ….. was …..ing….

For example:

One day Jimmy was walking down the street

Students pass again and complete the following:

when…+ past simple

One day Jimmy was walking down the street when he saw a police car driving

towards him.
